For over 20 years the parish community has waited for the regularization of the area destinated to the new temple, which happened in September 2022. Before the material construction, the living stones of the temple were polished, as spiritual children of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. The original temple, located close to the current building, could no longer accommodate the number of faithful who, as a result of the pandemic, started attending Masses in temporary tents, awaiting the construction of the new temple on the appropriate land.

The new parish of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, in Brasília, features an architectural project that is simultaneously modern, appropriate to the city's urban planning guidelines, but also respecting the traditional sense of Sacred Architecture. "Recognizing Saint Pio's special predilection for Dom Falcão and our community, we wanted his house in Brasilia to carry the features of his original home in San Giovanni Rotondo (IT), even with the great sculpture of Saint Pio that will embrace pilgrim devotees. Our parish has a vocation of sanctuary, but it is the pilgrims, devotees of Saint Pio, who will confirm these signs", says the current parish priest, Father Fernando Sousa.

In addition to a large temple with a normal seating capacity of 1,100 people, the parish complex will also feature a grand and beautiful cloister that combines catechetical and celebratory rooms, a 400m auditorium, a secretary's office, a souvenir center, a cafeteria, an event area, and much more. All of this without losing the necessary parking area, mostly underground.

A grandiose work like this requires financial support from the entire community, as well as from the devotees and children of Saint Pio. Donations can be made directly on the website or at the parish office. They can be recurring, with debits from a checking account or credit card.
